| Description: | A dark grey, fine-grained limestone with white calcite veins from Cults and Pitlessie Limeworks, four miles south-south-west of Cupar, Fifeshire. BGS Sample SL 48. British Geological Survey Petrology Collection sample number MC 7577. The Charlestown Main Limestone crops out on a hill-slope facing north, from Cults westwards to Coaltown of Burnturk, a distance of about 2 miles. The limestone has been quarried along practically the whole outcrop, and mining was resorted to when the overburden became too thick for opencast work. The workings at Cults, by 1949, had extended nearly 4 miles south from the outcrop. |
